Book Review "Short-Straw Bride" by Karen Witemeyer I received a copy of this book from Bethany House for review. I didn't know what to expect when I received this book. I had been given the option of looking at a trailer for the book, but I declined. Short-Straw Bride was very refreshing! I was immediately drawn into the story, time, and place from the very first chapter! I found several occasions where I laughed at the characters! My heart ached during their trials. I love the fact that the author laced the story with biblical truths and scripture references! This is my first time reading a Karen Witemeyer book and I was very pleased. It flowed very nicely. I could spend the rest of my life reading stories just like this one of her's!! I anxiously look forward to my next book to review! Thank you Bethany House for this opportunity!!
